Can u teach an old dog new tricks? Pads to tampons

Posted by: ladiomi on Sun Nov 14, 2010

Having a heavy and long period has consumed my life. I spend at least two weeks of the month with it. More than with my partner and I is completely irritated. Here lately I have started to become so heavy I am going through overnight pads during the day at least twice. My doctor recommended I try tampons and use a regular pad instead of a pantyliner?! I am in the process of trying it now, I have never been so confused! I don't know when i should change it or what to do when i have to go to the bathroom. This is what i get for waiting so long to try them. However, It has helped with the bleeding through my clothes issue. Can anyone tell me how this tampon thing is suppose to work?
